Sms problem in galaxy tab

Receiving sms but end up in a different contact name. Anyone has this problem? Pls help.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App

To put it simply just restore factory presets and try again. Should work.

I have experienced the same problem.
How would restoring factory presets help? (and what settings does this actually restore?)

same probleme with mine (SFR France), it suddenly started doing that two days ago and now all new received messages are messed up.
Will try to delete the messaging cache only at first (I have quite a few programs installed and would not like to reset the tablet....)
if anyone has a fix (even if it needs root......) I am happy to know it.
It seems to happen with all android phones BTW, so must be solved somehow no?

Had the same thing, after reboot all messages were in the right conversations.

Nothing new, had this issue with multiple Android devices.
A long long discusion about it, and it seemes google has fixed the sms problems, so its just to await updates from vendors.
PS a good rule to folow is.
Once you open messaging app, let it settle before moving arround in messages.
There have been issues with sms showing up under wrong persons, and sms going out to wrong person, depending on faulty situation.
Btw as long as you always send clean and nice sms's its not a real problem? is it?
Hahaha

true!
BTW, I have my tab working back ok.
what I did is go on settings/softwares/Manage/ and force closed and deleted all cache from the messaging programs.
after that, I had to reset my SMS ringtones, server phone number and it goes great since!
no format or loss of any message, and everything sorted out.
give it a try, always better than a wipe.

I could not find the path mentioned Settings/Softwares/Manage. Are you talking about Settings from the sms screen, the main tab screen, or something else? Appreciate if you could help to clarify.
Thanks.

Handcent SMS question.

For some reason, my Handcent app will at least once per day display its release notes when opened as if I just installed it, and any changes I made to its settings will be reset. This is particularly annoying because I use custom notification tones for different contacts & for new texts in general. What could be the issue? It's not set to autoupdate.

App updates through the market don't mess with your saved data/app settings, so that's probably not it. The next time it happens, uninstall/reinstall the app and see if that helps. Do this through the market, not from a Titanium Backup batch or anything similar. Also, I believe Handscent has an option to back up all of your user settings. The next time you have to reconfigure everything, make a backup of your settings. At the very least, it will save you a hell of a lot of time until you figure out what the problem is.

I reinstalled it like you suggested. I also tried reinstalling via EasyUninstaller. Neither fixed the problem.
Also, to backup the settings, you have to be a premium user.
The only thing I can think that would have affected the app is I installed a custom theme for it. It wasn't a theme from within the app itself, but a mod a user had made to change the keyboard color and some other things. I thought I had uninstalled it, though. I installed it via AppsInstaller with the apk being on my sd card. I'll try to find the thread I got the apk from.
OK, here it is: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/team-fusion/34058-release-themed-handcent.html

What Rom are you running? Stock Captivate or ?. Some roms cause this issue, resets the app (s) for some reason. I've had the issue on a few other apps but not handcent. I also registered the app, might make a difference.

I'm running Darkys 7.0.1 port, if you've heard of it. It's VERY nice on appearance and battery life, but this problem just sucks!
Would registering it fix the problem? I don't want to pay $3 just to remove the ad bar.

There is a free registration. Not sure if that will fix the problem but hell, it's free and saves your settings.
I have restored handcent using TiBu for at least the last 10 rom flashes, app + data and never had a problem, just did it this morning when going to Perception 9.5, and every things is working fine, logged in and it restored all my theme settings, preferences, etc.
That's with the free registration. Quote from them " Register free handcent account, get online quicktext and online themes services"
Other thing is, are you running the latest update? Every update has always fixed any issue I was having with the program.

Saw this: "with the new version of Handcent just released and it seems to break handcent even after resigning the app. " From the link you posted.

Verizon Backup Assistant error every night

Every night I get a notification from backup assistant that it's unable to connect to the network and will try again in 2 hours.
I would like to uninstall this app but it doesn't look like that's possible without root.
I can't even figure out how to turn it off though or fix the nightly error. There doesn't seem to be any real options for it.
Any ideas?

I didn't have this problem before I performed a factory reset on my phone. After I did a factory reset, the backup assistant insisted I gave it my info. It hijacked my homescreen and is now an always-running app. I get that error every night.
I was thinking maybe a factory reset would fix the phone? That seems like the only option right now.

go to accounts in the phones main menus/settings/accounts and see if you can disable the sync there.

There's no option to disable it. The only think you can do is change the time of day it tries to backup.
I don't even get why they put this on the phone. It looks like all it does is try and backup your contacts which is pointless since they are all already backed up in your google account.

Don't seem to have this issue but you can add it to your task manager auto end list, enable system/core apps in settings and u can see it then add it.
-smc
Edit:
Maybe not, can't add system apps it seems.

Do you use backup assistant? If not, now that you can root, freeze it.

I did freeze mine after rooting with Ti. Rebooted and no problems.

I've just read we shouldn't be uninstalling/freezing too much stuff until there's a way to recover from a soft brick.

Yes, I've read that too. I tried anyway. No problems (well one, not a show stopper) with the ones I did. Rebooted and everything.
B-)

The thing that stopped working was already mentioned in the rooting thread.
<quote>
I froze that one. I'm not sure if it was the issue but my quick dial contacts would not function.
</quote>
I ran into that too. And believe it or not, it was the Yahoo! Mail Authenticator 2.3.4 that stopped that feature from working.
B-)

The interesting thing about that one is that once you use the quick dial contacts, you can re-freeze YMA until you reboot the phone. So I booted clean, and listed my running apps. Used the quick dial contacts and re-checked running apps. Turns out an app called "Contacts Data" is what requires YMA. I suppose it may not be YMA specifically, It could be that it requires at least one authenticator and I may have disabled them all (accept google mail)

I've been trying to post directly to that thread, however, it seems I don't have permission (developer thread). Hope whoever was looking see it here.

[Q] How to delete downloads in Samsung apps

My Samsung Apps icon shows a "1" on the top right corner, which means that one of the apps has an update. It turns out to be the eBook app which I never could successfully install, and it turns out that I can't update it either!
Is there anyway I can remove the notification or delete that app from the list of downloads (in the Samsung app, click on the left menu button > my page > downloads). It has a history of all the Samsung apps that I'd previously downloaded, even the ones I've deleted. I tried clearing the cache of the app and force stopping but it didn't help. Even turning off New application notification doesn't help, neither does wiping my cache and dalvik.
I'm pretty sure there must be a folder somewhere where I can tinker with all these information. Does anyone know?

I am using Titanium Backup to freeze and delete all kind of apps.

The ebooks app doesn't even show up in Titanium, so I can't freeze it.

I do have the same "1"!!
tried to solve it but no luck

I had the same issue as you, and updating to the latest firmware solved the problem. I'm now on DXLC2, and SamsungApps maintains a history of what I have downloaded before, and also shows the ones currently installed. It no longer thinks that I've installed the Ebook app (which hanged halfway) and tells me there's an update.
If you're not rooted, the Kies way *may* work, as another poster mentioned from another thread. I don't know as I'm rooted so I can't verify that. But after you've connected your phone in Kies, on the top right of the screen, you should sign in, then go to MyDownloads. Do let us know if this works, as I'm curious too.

I think Changing samsung account will be final option.

I tried that, but it didn't work. Annoying, I know. Someone mentioned wiping the SD card, which I haven't done yet, and no longer need to since upgrading of firmware helped.
BTW, I posted in the wrong thread (Which is why "I wrote I had the same issue as you"); there was someone else who started another thread about this issue after me, and I'd meant to reply to that one!

Thanks for the suggestion, but it doesn't work either. The issue here is a Samsung app that shows as having been downloaded, when it hasn't (e.g. stopping the installation before it finishes). So it doesn't even show in my app drawer. Anyway, I suppose the issue has been fixed, though I can only guess at how to clear the history of installed apps which still shows up.

I had same problem...change the samsung account helps me, hope it helps you to

[Q] Unable to Attach Google Photos in Google Messenger

VZW Nexus 6, unlocked, unencrypted, stock rooted 5.1.1 with Wugfresh's NRT. Access point is LTE - Verizon Internet VZWINTERNET. I have AdAway installed, but have had it disabled in order to troubleshoot. I don't use the MOAB host but I whitelisted mms.vtext.com just to be safe. Also tried a couple of different access points to no avail.
While in Messenger if I tap the paperclip to add an attachment, all options except Google Photos work. When I try to attach a photo from Google Photos, the displayed thumbnail is blank and the spinning search indicator goes on indefinitely. If instead I open Google Photos, select a photo to share via Messenger, it works fine.
One other piece of info. After I get tired of watching Messenger endlessly search for a Google photo, I back out, clear recents and go into Google Photos to send that way, but my attempt to attach from Messenger corrupts something in Google Photos, so I have to force stop it to get it to function normally.
I've force stopped, cleared cache and data for both Messenger and Google Photos multiple times, but nothing seems to work.
The only thing that does work is reverting to the factory install of Messenger. If I do that, everything works as it should.
Anybody have this problem?
Thanks.

Try a file explorer (ES is my choice) and click the share button. There should be an option to share it via Google Messenger. That should insert it into the convo. Also make sure your SMS/MMS settings are correct along with the APN. If none of this works, try uninstalling/reinstalling Messenger, and then clearing the cache/dalvik, and try again. Hope this helps.

As stated, all of the options (to include my file explorer--root explorer), recents, dropbox, etc. do work. It's Google Photos that's not working properly. Also keep in mind, that the option to use Google Photos allows me to attach photos from the cloud, which is what I'm unable to do...so a file explorer is not optimal in this case.
SMS/MMS settings have been checked, and as I also stated, I'm using Verizon's preferred APN, but I have also tried others without success.
Although I didn't mention above, is that I have uninstalled and reinstalled both Google Photos and Messenger without success. The only thing that did work was reverting to the factory install of Messenger, but that's not optimal.
Clearing cache and Dalvik is useful so I'll give that a try, but I'm not hopeful.
Are you, or anyone else able to duplicate this problem without reverting to the factory install of Messenger? Thanks.

I had that problem. I never ran completely stock & rooted from the box. But I had similar problems with the stock sms/mms app using custom roms. I finally installed Textra on the advice of others & since then have never experienced a problem, so I never looked back. But others told me it was the stock app which is at fault. Why it works for most & not for some - I got no idea. I also consider Textra to be a step up in many areas vs stock. I use Titanium Backup & freeze the stock app also.

Same problem here with Google Photos but using Themed version of Messenger. Appears to be something related to Google signature key and not able to access Google servers..

Anyone ever get this resolved? I'm experiencing the same. Running Nexus 5 stock, unrooted.

Still not working for me even after updating the factory image to account for Stagefright. During the update I took the opportunity while unrooted to try again (this was after a factory reset)....didn't work. Then rerooted and tried again...still a nogo. Same symptoms as my OP. Here are a couple of shots:

Are you on Verizon?

I just tried switching over to Hangouts...same problem....something's amiss.

AT&T. Everything seemed to work up until a few days ago. Maybe the stagefright update was the cause.

I had it before and after the Stagefright update

Do you have two stage auth enabled with Google authenticator method? Trying to trace back things that changed recently.

Yes I do use 2 step authentication with google.

One more point. I just watched a Galaxy S6 exhibit the same problem. Something must be up on Google's end.
